5 Little 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃unit is on my lesson plans for tomorrow! This one is LOVED by kids & I’ve included alternate versions with 🦇 s or 🍂 if you don’t celebrate Halloween with your students.
We use this unit to work on STEM, writing, retell, and really intensely dig into numbers 1-5. I think as teachers we tend to take for granted that all students know all about those first few numbers when they come to us in k.
If you spend some time on them in the beginning, it will pay off big time with their number sense later! Have you used a finger glove or one of the paper towel retell projects I’ve made with your kids? I’d love to hear if it helped!
My favorite way to get in fine motor, color word, and sorting practice in the month of October! How do you use mini-erasers?
